    Southwest Airlines Tells Woman Her Attire Is Too Revealing



    SAN DIEGO -- Kyla Ebbert says she wants an apology from Southwest Airlines after being told to get off a plane and change her clothes because what she was wearing was too revealing.


    Ebbert, 23, told the Today Show's Matt Lauer that an airline employee asked her to come up to the front of the plane just before the crew closed the plane's doors.


    "He told me, 'I'm sorry but you're going to have to catch a later flight because you are dressed inappropriately, this is a family airline and you are too provocative to fly on this flight'," Ebbert said. "I said, 'What part is it? The shirt? The skirt? Which part?' He said, 'the whole thing.'"

    Too Sexy For Flight?

    Ebbert said she was on a day trip from San Diego to Tucscon for a doctor's appointment and had no luggage, so she had nothing to change into. She was allowed to stay on the flight, she said, after agreeing to pull up her tank top and pull down her skirt.

    Ebbert wore the same outfit on the Today Show that she was wearing at the time of the incident, she said.

    Southwest Airlines released the following statement about the incident:

    "Southwest Airlines was responding to a concern about Ms. Ebbert's revealing attire on the flight that day. As a compromise, we asked her to adjust her clothing to be less revealing, she complied, and she traveled as scheduled. When a concern is brought to our employees' attention, we address that situation directly with the customer(s) involved in a discreet and professional matter. Fortunately, as an airline that carries approximately 96 million customers a year, those situations are extremely rare."

    Dangerous. She definitely has some weapons of mass distraction tucked away in there.
